Spanish footwear brand Manolo Blahnik has introduced a new boutique space within the Selfridges shoe galleries in London. Locally based architect Nick Leith-Smith of Forward Associates crafted the 560-sq.-ft. Manolo Blahnik Salon akin to a minimalist living room space that conveys tranquility. The salon is populated by bespoke furniture composed of paneled timber, veneer, antique bronze, fine leather and cottons. A custom chandelier of opal glass and bronze further elevates the space with its illumination of the warm setting.
